TAKES OWN LIFE
ON TURN OF CARD
DETROIT, Sept. 18.?William McCay
was 65 years old and for many
years he has made a more or less
precarious living by gambling from
San Francisco to New York and even (
in Europe. He had often declared j
his belief that a man should die
when ne reached he ape of 65. A few
days ago he passed this mark. An
Inventor:/ r? his worldy goods showed
he was worth exactly seventy-two
cents, besic.es his clothing. He decided
to '?* the cards determine j
whether he should continue the game j
or quit.
H* locked the door of his room in a J
rooming house and dealt the cards, i
If it came red, the game would go; If j
black, it was finished.
When his landlady forced the door
of his room she saw a pack of cards
on the table, with the eight of spades
face up. On the floor lay McCay,
dead, his throat cut with a raaor.
